Dear festividder,

Please don't feel intimidated by the length of this letter, I just like to ramble. If your creativity leads you in a different direction than what I've written, that's totally fine with me! Since you are bound to the fandom's footage, I can't think of anything that I would really dislike, and since there are so little vids in my fandoms, everything will be new and exiting!

I like all kinds of moods in vids--from ridiculously funny to deeply moving or beautiful to watch. Gen vids are great, and slash (m/m and f/f) is perfectly fine with me (in fact, in most of my fandoms there's a slash pairing I ship...), but I don't care that much for het.

As for music, I like everything--classical, oldies, metal, techno, pop, alternative, folk or whatever obscure genre there might be. I always love to get to know new songs or genres.

Thank you very much and have fun!

Die Hard:

Hans Gruber; McLane; general bad-assness

I like the first and third movie best, but the others are fine with me, too, especially if you mix them together. I'm a Hans Gruber fan. And, of course, McLane kicks ass, I love his creative ideas for getting out of precatious situations.

Small source if you only pick one movie.

Boston Legal:

Alan&Denny (slash or friendship or as individuals); Shirley (and her interaction with A&D)

My favourite characters are Alan (witty & sexy), Denny (funny & absurd) and Shirley (tough & totally able to handle Alan and Denny). I love the absurd and dark humour in the series, the sexual innuendo, and I like Alan's closings. Denny and Alan together are awesome, I love how they are so different and still seem to be the only ones that are perfectly fine with the other's quirks. And did I mention that Alan is sexy? ;-)

Very large source.

Babylon 5:

Shadow war; Londo&G'Kar (slash or animosity/friendship or as individuals); space scenes

My favourite characters are Londo, G'Kar and Ivanova, but they are all great, as are all the races. I especially love anything about the shadow war and the mythologies surrounding it, and all that foreshadowing that is going on in the whole series. I love the space scenes. I love these longish thoughtful voiceovers or wise quotes we so often get from G'Kar or Delenn or others. I love the development of G'Kar and Londo, as individuals and regarding their relationship with each other. I'm not that exited about the telepath and mars stuff from the fifth season.

Very large source.

In & Out:

gen/slash/humour... anything, really

My favourites are, of course, Howard and Peter. And... Emily in her wedding dress (it's just too funny how she struggles with it after the not-wedding!)

Small source.

Winnetou:

Winnetou; Winnetou&Shatterhand (friendhip or slash); horses

All the movies are a collection of romantic cliches, I know, but I love them anyway. Horses, native Americans, nature... And of course the heroic Winnetou (probably my first crush when I was still a little girl) and his dear blood brother Shatterhand. There are several movies around, any movie with Pierre Briece and Lex Barker in the main roles is fine by me.

Small source if you only pick one movie.

Lewis:

Lewis&Hathaway (slash or frienship or as individuals); Hobson

My favourite characters are Lewis (cute & still missing his wife, aw!), Hathaway (witty & always pulling funny faces) and Hobson (never at a loss for words & still very sensitive). I love the slow pace of the show and how it so beautifully filmed, and the banter.

Larger source.

La Cage Aux Folles:

Albin/Renato; humour

Besides the funny aspects of the movie and the gay-world-collides-with-hetero-world, I like how Renato always handles everything with dignity, even when Albin comes up with these absurd ideas of his or gets involved in strange incidents. I like how you can feel that they have been together for a long time and, in spite all of their quarrels, respect and love each other.

Small source if you only pick one movie.

The State Within:

Mark&Nicholas (slash or friendship or as individuals); Azzam; angst

My favourite characters are Mark (good guy & attractive) and Nicholas (ambiguous & competent). And Azzam, of course, how can you not love Azzam? I like the general angstiness of the series, how there are so many people selfishly following their own schemes, and how you never know what side people are on and what they want to achieve until the end.

Smaller source (six episodes), but complicated plot.
